The gigolo kept by the matriarch turned out to be the heir to a wealthy family.

Chapter 278 Escape

"Master, do you need me to go with you?" Chen Dong asked.

Su Yuchen stopped in front of them, glanced at the two of them, and finally fixed his gaze on Mo Peichen.

"Have him come with me."

Mo Peichen: "..."

"why me?"

"What do you think?" Su Yuchen's tone, rising slightly, carried a hint of threat.

Mo Peichen glanced at Chen Dong with a look of utter despair.

"Chen Dong, save me!"

"Master, how about I..." Before Chen Dong could finish speaking, Su Yuchen's imposing aura spread throughout the office.

Chen Dong: "..."

"Master, Vice President, please drive carefully and have a safe journey!"

"Chen Dong, you!"

Before Mo Peichen could finish speaking, Su Yuchen stopped in his tracks.

Mo Peichen's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly put on a smile and laughed it off.

"It is my honor to serve President Su." After saying that, she followed behind Su Yuchen with a sorrowful expression.

After Lin Dai'er reported Yun Yao's itinerary to Su Yuchen, Su Yuchen immediately found out who was inviting her to dinner, and even knew exactly where they were eating.

He wouldn't be so nervous if it were someone else, but it's Ge Beiyao, so he can't be.

As far as he knew, Yun Yao had bid on the Blood Lotus at that charity gala and given it to Ge Beiyao. This was the first time Yun Yao had shown affection to a man other than him.

Besides, he wasn't at ease with Ge Beiyao just because of his face.

On the way, Mo Peichen kept dozing off, and several times he almost rested his head on Su Yuchen's shoulder.

"Mo Peichen, if you sleep again, I'll deduct a month's salary from your paycheck."

The drowsy person seemed to have heard something momentous and suddenly woke up.

"Salary? Who's going to deduct my salary?"

Su Yuchen: "..." What was wrong with him back then that he chose him as his deputy?

Mo Peichen turned his head and saw Su Yuchen with a gloomy expression. He couldn't help but swallow.

"Brother, you can rest assured. Your Yunyao is perfectly fine, and besides, Ge Beiyao wouldn't have any designs on her."

Su Yuchen ignored him and opened the car door after the car arrived at its destination.

Mo Peichen followed behind, his face full of reluctance.

Suddenly, the person in front stopped, and Mo Peichen almost bumped into them.

Ask him which private room he's in.

"Why me?" Mo Peichen asked, puzzled.

"Otherwise what? Me?"

Mo Peichen: "..." This evil capitalist!

"I'll hit you, I'll hit you, okay!"

But Ge Beiyao's phone was on silent, so he didn't receive Mo Peichen's call at all.

Mo Peichen tried three times, but no one answered.

"Yu Chen, I'm not trying to be mean, but do you really have no faith in your partner's feelings for you?"

"Believe."

"Then why did you insist on getting involved?"

"Jealous."

Mo Peichen felt as if he, as a single man, had been hit with a critical strike, a blow that was utterly heartbreaking.

“We don’t know where they are now. We can’t just go door to door, can we?” Mo Peichen asked.

Su Yuchen looked up at the tall building in front of him, a dark light flashing in his eyes.

Then, Mo Peichen saw Su Yuchen slowly take out his phone.

"Who are you calling?" Mo Peichen asked.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yuchen's voice rang out.

"The contact information for the general manager of Guixiangyuan Private Kitchen on Changqing Road."

The other end of the line read out a string of numbers. After hanging up, Su Yuchen dialed the number directly.

The person who answered the phone sounded like a middle-aged man, seemingly enjoying a romantic encounter, and his voice carried a hint of impatience.

"Who?"

"I am Su Yuchen."

"Su Yuchen? Which one..." Before the person opposite could even utter the name Su Yuchen, they had already realized who it was.

There's probably only one person in the entire capital named Su Yuchen who has the ability to find his private phone number.

"You...you are President Su of Yonsei International?"

"Ah."

The other end suddenly fell silent, sounding somewhat uneasy.

Su Yuchen was already getting impatient and said coldly, "My wife is having dinner at your restaurant, and I need to pick her up and take her home."

These are all shrewd business people; how could they not understand the meaning behind Su Yuchen's phone call? The manager immediately realized what was going on.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll ask for you right away."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yuchen and Mo Peichen waited downstairs.

"Yu Chen, are you just going to go like this? Aren't you afraid that Yun Yao will be angry?"

Su Yuchen: "..."

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

A moment later, the cell phone rang.

"Mr. Su, private room number two on the third floor."

Before the manager could offer any more flattery, Su Yuchen had already hung up the phone.

He strode inside, and the staff, having received orders from above, were extremely respectful upon seeing Su Yuchen.

When the two of them arrived at private room number two, Su Yuchen did not even stop and continued walking forward.

After all that fuss, he finally chose the private room next to Yun Yao's.

Mo Peichen couldn't help but give Su Yuchen a thumbs up.

"Yu Chen, I can die without regrets if I can see this cowardly side of you in my lifetime."

Su Yuchen didn't take it to heart, his mood improved, and the coldness on his face gradually melted away.

He would not reveal his feelings for Yun Yao to anyone. His coming was solely out of his longing and concern. His not going in was a sign of respect for Yun Yao.

Mo Peichen was right; he shouldn't have restricted Yun Yao's freedom.

She was never a caged canary, and he didn't want to keep her by his side. She was a phoenix soaring through the heavens, born to look down upon the world.

Even so, the people next door noticed that familiar and intimate presence passing by her door.

Seeing Yun Yao staring at the door, Ge Beiyao turned to look as well.

"But is something wrong?"

Yun Yao chuckled softly, shook her head, and her eyes softened slightly.

"It's alright, let's continue talking."

The dishes were served in Su Yuchen's room as well, and Mo Peichen wolfed them down. After a while, Su Yuchen put down his chopsticks.

"Let's go."

Mo Peichen looked at the table full of dishes and then cast a pleading look at Su Yuchen.

"Big brother, I'm still not full!"

Su Yuchen had already stood up.

“Not leaving? Fine, you pay the bill,” Su Yuchen said in a deep voice.

"Su Yuchen, you son of a bitch!"

With his back to Mo Peichen, Su Yuchen smiled slightly and opened the door.

If it weren't for their deliberate actions, it wouldn't have been such a coincidence that as soon as Su Yuchen opened the door, Ge Beiyao and Yun Yao also came out of the private room.

Ge Beiyao and Su Yuchen exchanged glances, and then looked at Yun Yao beside them, who showed no surprise whatsoever. They understood immediately.

It's likely that Yun Yao already knew Su Yuchen was next door.

"President Su, it's been a long time." Ge Beiyao extended his hand to Su Yuchen in a very gentlemanly manner.

Su Yuchen's gaze first fell on Yun Yao. Seeing that she was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to return the greeting.

"Young Master Ge, it's been a long time."

The interaction between the two was limited to this handshake, but to everyone's surprise, Ge Beiyao walked towards Mo Peichen, who was behind Su Yuchen.

"Does Vice President Mo have any issues with me?"

Mo Peichen: "..." Ge Beiyao, you son of a bitch!

Under the intimidating gaze of Ge Beiyao, Mo Peichen reluctantly extended his hand.

The two were about the same height, but Mo Peichen seemed to be at a slight disadvantage.

In this battle for "status," Mo Peichen was the first to lose. Under Ge Beiyao's burning gaze, he hurriedly withdrew his hand.

"Yu Chen, I'm going to get the car now."

Having said that, he fled in disarray.
